The Aces made history on Wednesday, signing four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson to the largest supermax deal on record— worth some $5 million over three years.
Las Vegas is reportedly set to allot Wilson 20% of its $7 million salary cap over the contract’s lifetime, with future flexibility should the cap soften.
“A’ja is truly one of one, who has led this franchise to where it is today,” Aces president and GM Nikki Fargas said in a team statement.
“Not only has she catapulted into the history books and surpassed almost every record in existence, but she does so with the utmost confidence, authenticity and grace. We look forward to continuing to see her thrive in an Aces uniform.”
“YKWTFGO,” Wilson said in a team statement, quoting rapper Stunna Girl as as she gears up to lead the reigning WNBA champion into 2026.
Las Vegas Aces Build Roster Around Re-Signed Star A'ja Wilson
Las Vegas has officially secured its veteran core, after re-signing guards Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Jewell Loyd.
The Aces can now focus on roster support, welcoming back 2025 champs NaLyssa Smith, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, Kierstan Bell, and Dana Evans while bringing on veteran free agents Stephanie Talbot and Brianna Turner.
The Aces also signed former Chicago guard Chennedy Carter to a training camp contract, after reported locker room issues saw the Sky fail to re-sign the 27-year-old in 2025.
